The Credit One Charleston Open will commit $2.5 million to players in 2026, including $2.3 million in prize money and $200,000 for benefits, doubling the 2025 total. Tournament owner Ben Navarro, father of WTA player Emma Navarro, described the move as recognition of women's tennis quality. The increase aligns the WTA 500 event with men's counterparts, marking a milestone for the sport.
